2 tips for fresh, homemade pasta

Replacing store-bought pasta noodles with the homemade variety can enhance your overall dish with fresh flavor. You can control exactly what goes into your pasta to accommodate a gluten-free diet or opt for whole wheat ingredients if you’re trying to trim your waistline. The process of making your own pasta is well worth it. Here are a few tips to help you out:

Take time to knead
Kneading your pasta dough is essential for noodles that are smooth and perfectly textured. Continue to knead the dough until it is smooth to the touch – this will help you out with the rest of the pasta making process. If the dough starts to get sticky, add a little bit of flour to soften it up. Adding too much flour, however, can give your pasta a tough, hard texture.

Use room temperature eggs
Take your eggs out of the refrigerator and let them get to room temperature before adding them to your dough. This will make the dough much easier to work with. And if you can, buy farm fresh eggs to give your homemade pasta a beautiful golden color and fresh taste. High-quality ingredients will give you tastier noodles. Enroll in a culinary arts program to learn how to incorporate your homemade noodles into different types of dishes.
